Summary

Documents the new --fernignore flag for the fern generate command, which allows users to specify a custom .fernignore file during remote SDK generation. This flag was added in fern-api/fiddle#537.

The documentation includes:

  • Description of the flag's purpose, including that Fern commits the new .fernignore to the repository as part of generation
  • Usage example
  • Note clarifying it only works with remote generation (not --local or --runner)
  • Flag added to the top-level command syntax example

Updates since last revision

  • Clarified that Fern will commit the new .fernignore to the repository as part of the generation process (per user feedback)
  • Resolved merge conflict and restored the Note about remote-only generation

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

  • Verify the description accurately reflects the behavior - specifically that Fern commits the new .fernignore during generation (derived from reading fiddle PR code, not tested)
  • Check that the documentation style matches other flags in the same section
  • Confirm the Note about remote-only generation is still accurate

Notes

  • Could not run Vale locally as it wasn't installed in the environment
  • Documentation based on code review of the CLI implementation in fern-api/fern and the fiddle PR
